Garmin talk

Garmin Express for my Nuvi 40LM tried to update maps but told not enough room so I went to Walmart, bought and installed a San Disk 32gb micro SD card (<$10.00). I never even knew I could install a card or noticed the card slot.
I am not sure why else I would even need an SD card

I am fairly new to this activity. My question is, how do I get the icons and sound files to happen when using POI files? I hope I am asking in a way that makes sense! This is related to a Garmin Smart Drive 65 with Alexa!

Thank you in advance for your help and understanding!

New Garmin Express v7.8.0.0 is out.

The old honda accord had a nice dedicated shelf where I should stick the gps mount.

Picked up a kia stinger recently. Not too many places to mount the garmin (ds65).

every time i plan route on the Harley ride planner and save it to my gps file it gets screwed up in garmin base camp. anyone else have this issue? and how do you fix it?

Hi,

The most under rated feature in my opinion is traffic by lane. It doesn’t happen often but when the Garmin tells me which lane has heavy traffic and which doesn’t it’s golden. I took a picture of it yesterday since it’s not common for it to show. I posted a link on Reddit to see if Waze had something similar but it looks like it does not.

Hi everyone,

I used my Drivesmart 61LMT for a long drive after long time. Due to COVID-19, we did not go anywhere and stayed in town. Finally we decided to get out of town and we drove to Sudbury Ontario from Toronto. It is about four hours drive and straight forward drive. Here is list of issues we experienced with Garmin device:

A possible (and new) article of interest for those considering or already owning a Garmin Zumo XT can be found at https://advrider.com/getting-started-with-garmin-zumo-xt/

there's a feature of the Nuvi 2595 that I love, it comes back on where it was when I turned off the power to it.
I have a few others that start up at the welcome screen every time and I have to navigate to the map or speed window every time I start up. A little difficult with motorcycle gloves on.

Are there any newer ones that do what my 2595 does??

I've been using POI loader for quite some time and today when I was trying to update my RLC and Speed camera POI I got an error message that POI loader could not convert the correct.wav files for RLC and SC.

Never had that happen before. Any idea what's wrong

This is interesting. If the change happens, Garmin may come out with a better Garmin RINO.

My 660 finally failed after 13+ years!

Got half of the 2022.20 map into the 660 and went to install the other half and MapInstall didn't recognize it anymore.

Did a Master Reset and installed the latest Garmin USB drivers and rebooted PC. To no avail. Neither MapInstall nor GE could find the 660 any more. My 3597 was recognized though.

edit, I;ve been on this site for 13 some odd years and ask just once for help but I get attitude and accusation of something that I do not even understand............

Im not great at posting photos because I rarely ever have to if it isn't on Facebook.....

Thank you for your help........ I found my answer on another forum

I have an older Nuvi 1300 that I noticed was not getting traffic updates like it used to. I had the same traffic receiver cable but nothing was working. So I contacted Garmin support to see if there was a way to reset the unit and get the traffic alerts working again. Being an older unit I was not expecting much success.

I know that Garmin Express has an update every so often. I was downloading new map and checked Garmin Base Camp for new map install. They have an update. 4.7.4.0 Loaded OK for me.
Is this new or am I very late to party?

In Windows 10

To begin with some program on my laptop somehow, without me initialling it, removed BaseCamp v.4.7.4.

Tried re-installing BC v.4.7.4 and v.4.7.3 Neither one did want to install and after several tries I gave up. It went through the install motions but only for about 15 seconds so I knew it didn't install.

Hi Garmin Support Team,

Neighbor came over and asked that I help with a project.. Glad To!
In the bag was a Garmin.... She asks that I do whatever I can to it... to make it current..

Nuvi 240W...

OK... Fire up GE and it sees it... and says firmware is current, but then offers me a list of Costs for Map Updates.....

Disconnected and explained to her what she had....

It was a $3 Garage Sale purchase....

From across the pond, hope you all have an enjoyable July 4th
